Photos: The evolution of Cars Land at Disney California Adventure
Set to debut in summer 2012, Cars Land at Disney California Adventure will feature three new rides set amid a faithful re-creation of the fictional film town of Radiator Springs. Walt Disney Imagineering originally conceived of the themed land as a celebration of California's car culture called Carland. Here's a closer look at the evolution from Carland to Cars Land.

Cross-country trip( Disney )
The original Carland ride concept featured a cross-country road trip in a 1962 station wagon past Mt. Rushmore, under waterfalls and over covered bridges. Along the way, riders would encounter oversized chickens and life-sized dinosaurs designed to entice motorists to stop at roadside attractions.
